Jags tender RB Corey Grant, extend TE Ben Koyack and OT Will Poehls

As expected, the Jacksonville Jaguars tendered running back Corey Grant Monday afternoon. The team also announced that they place exclusive rights tenders on tight end Ben Koyack and offensive tackle Will Poehls, all of which came well before Wednesday’s 4 p.m. deadline.

#Jaguars have given RB Corey Grant the second-round tender. If he signs an offer sheet and JAX doesn't match, the Jaguars would get a second round pick from the new team.

Grant, 26, was the most notable name out of the group and was predominantly used as a special teams ace in 2017. He also served as the Jags’ fourth-string running back and managed to accumulate 32 carries for 253 yards (mostly as a returner) and two touchdowns. With Chris Ivory gone, he could be in line to battle T.J. Yeldon for the No. 2 running back spot behind Leonard Fournette.

Koyack, 24, was drafted by the Jags in the 2015 draft in the seventh-round (No. 229 overall). Since, he’s managed to accumulate a career total of 24 receptions for 199 receiving yards and one touchdown, which came in the wild-card round of the playoffs against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He’ll re-join a current tight end of Marcedes Lewis, James O’Shaughnessy and David Grinnage this offseason to battle for a more significant role in 2018.

Lastly, Poehls was signed by the Jags off waivers from the Chicago Bears after final cuts last summer. However, he didn’t see the field and was a healthy inactive for the Jags’ regular season and postseason games.
